Property & Sales Tax Abatements

Abatements of property taxes may be approved for business development or redevelopment that meets certain criteria. This includes the level of job creation, compensation of workforce, total investment in plant and capital, and business sectors being targeted by the County. At present, these target industries have been designated as highly desirable for recruitment:

  • Advanced Manufacturing 

  • Food Processing

  • Life Sciences

  • Energy: due to the highly individualized nature of this program, prospective applicants are encouraged to inquire with the City to determine eligibility.

An application for property tax abatement is available here.

Also, the City of Joliet offers a sales tax sharing program. This program is an agreement made by a local government (municipality or county) to share or rebate any portion of retailers’ occupation taxes generated by retail sales of tangible personal property. An application for economic incentives via sales tax sharing is available here.
